Romo chooses football over golf

IRVING – For Tony Romo, choosing to skip golf over football was a no-brainer.

The Cowboys quarterback participated in the team’s organized team activities Monday morning rather than attempt to qualify for the HP Byron Nelson Championship in McKinney.

Romo had a 9:57 a.m. tee time. Practice started roughly two hours later.

“I would rather not do anything else than this right here,” Romo said in the locker room after practice. “They (his teammates and coaches) know this because they see me all the time. It really is the funnest thing that we get to do. I just love competing. If you wanted to follow me around, you’d probably see me play other things and compete at them.”
